Fortunately, visitors to Walt Disney World can still visit the original theming of this attraction. I miss the original treehouse’s water delivery system that used hallowed out bamboo “cups” to transport fresh water to the top of the tree where the characters’ bedrooms were.
But with the retheming, many details were lost, along with a lot of its charm.

I understand the reasoning behind Disneyland’s now rethemed Tarzan’s Treehouse (formerly the Swiss Family Treehouse) to make it more relevant. Swiss Family Treehouse Magic Kingdom’s treehouse just moments before torrential rain soaked us mid-climb. they still do the seasonal Jingle Cruise holiday overlay of the attraction! Overall, Walt Disney World’s Jungle Cruise seems more lush, detailed, and.

The two rides share all the basic elements, including that famous ride along the backside of water.īut the biggest difference in Florida’s version is the trip riders take through a dark and mysterious tunnel full of treasures and artifacts, where you’ll notice a Genie lamp one would assume is from the film Aladdin. But it’s a good thing we didn’t add Tokyo Disneyland to our comparison, their trackless version of the attraction makes both US versions look like. The Disneyland version starts floating near the start of the ride and just keeps floating.Īs a whole, the Disney World version is just more fun. The Magic Kingdom version also has the advantage of Hunny Pot vehicles with more range of motion, including both bouncing and floating. (The Imagineering video below shows you the fun queue enhancements) All that land also allows for some fun activities while waiting in the standby line and a much more immersive queue area. Florida’s version of the ride is longer and once again, more complete. This is where the vast amount of land Walt Disney World has works to their advantage.
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh The Walt Disney World version of Pooh takes you literally into the book, you’ll pass pages of the story in the queue and in ride scenes. However, with the forthcoming Princess and the Frog redo in the works, we’ll need to reevaluate this one in the coming years. The Walt Disney World version is better lit, has more complete show scenes, and a more fleshed out story from start to finish. The Disneyland Original is certainly a favorite attraction in the park, and continues to pack in the crowds on hot California days. Though, there is certainly some valid debate among fans regarding which park better maintains this attraction (both have serious problems keeping those animatronics working!). Aside from the log-shaped ride vehicles being two-seaters, as opposed to the single-file seats at Disneyland, the story and animatronics are also better at the Magic Kingdom. To me, the Orlando version of this ride surpasses Anaheim’s in a number of ways. Yes, it’s pretty, but Disneyland’s Astro Orbitor lacks the height to make it a true winner. The soaring Florida version is the hands-down winner in my book, zooming above and beyond Disneyland’s scaredy-cat version.
But Disneyland’s version is placed firmly on at ground level. The Disneyland Astro Orbitor has a similar, but streamlined look to the Florida version. Its industrial steampunk design fits better at Disneyland Paris, which the attraction was originally designed for. Sadly, Disneyland’s new Astro Orbitor (different spelling than the Magic Kingdom version), was moved to the front of Tomorrowland and placed at ground level. But the new Astro Orbiter remained largely the same ride atop the PeopleMover platform. In the 90s the Magic Kingdom’s Star Jets was ringed by planets and set aglow by colorful neon.
